The Rack Relocates

Downtown’s Nordstrom Rack is moving to its new Westlake Center location and you won’t want to miss the opening day festivities.

The new Nordstrom Rack downtown location opens March 15.

WHERE: Nordstrom Rack’s brand new downtown location at Westlake Center

WHAT: After over twenty years at its Second Ave and Pine site, the Rack is moving in next door to its big sister flagship store. As a sort of housewarming, the designer clearance mecca is holding a morning of festivities that includes complimentary breakfast, live entertainment, and plenty of freebies.

For starters, the first thousand people to make a purchase will receive a free Nordstrom Rack tote. For those who prefer the stakes a little higher: twenty emerald green hangers will be hidden around the store; find one and trade it in for $100 worth of merchandise (follow the Rack on Twitter for clues—and, this is just our own hint for general use: news of new designer drops). What’s more: one very lucky shopper will win a chance to race through the new space on a 90-second, $2,000 shopping spree à la Supermarket Sweep.

The new Rack will have over 2,600 handbags, a stand-alone flower shop, on-site alterations, and—our favorite part—they nixed the former store’s shoe mate window so now you’ll be able to try on both shoes without waiting in line.

WHEN: Opening day festivities start at 7a on March 15. Regular store hours will be Mon–Sat 9:30–9 and Sun 10–7.

A plant project was also offered.

Circling back on the Splendid store event we told you about on October 6, here’s a slideshow of images from the positively positive opening celebration.

Crafty LA mom Karen Kimmel (remember that name, her buzz is only growing louder and louder) and her Crafting Community projects are all about changing the world one plant-cozy-making family at a time. Eastsiders and Seattleites alike got to take their turn with the conceptual artist who makes things real, and real fun.

Crafts were crafted, cookies were dunked in milk, and dads chased kids around a family-size playpen. Safe to say Splendid felt a warm welcome.

Shop the revamped denim line and new First Ascent product in Bellevue.

Where: Bellevue Square

What: Across the street from the Eddie Bauer corporate headquarters, the Northwest-based hiking, fishing, camping, outdoors brand opened its new flagship (you might find this part ironic) inside the Eastside’s go-to mall on Friday morning. The new store’s lodge-inspired decor puts you outside the air-conditioned shopping center environment and lets you daydream about adventures to come—and the gear you’ll need to complete them, of course.

When: For a limited time, fall-preview products are only available at the new lodge/shop in Bellevue, so go now and be the first in your crew to score a First Ascent Primaloft jacket.
